LiveJournal in Google Reader done right
More than once I have met services that allowed to get a friend feed from LiveJournal in Google Reader or any other RSS aggregator. But for one reason or another, all these services did not satisfy me - they store some password on the server side from LiveJournal, others say they use a top-secret encryption algorithm and do not open the source code of the service ... I didn’t like all of this and one more bike appeared I hope, finally with round wheels.
First, an open source bike, and secondly, where possible with an emphasis on security. For example, to store a login / password in a secret URL, SHA1-OFB encryption is used, and, if desired, the content of “subzamnnyh” records can be cut from the tape, leaving only their headers.
The hosted service on Google AppEngine, for almost a month of testing by several people, no problems were found. Address - rss-proxy.darkk.net.ru
Answers to some of the emerging issues can be found in the FAQ service . If the service will be useful to someone other than me, I will be glad. Criticism and suggestions are welcome.

UPD: thanks to an unknown tester, two bugs were found and fixed, even though the tester didn’t unsubscribe in the comments - the django's raw exception warning system works like a clock.
UPD2: a couple of bugs in LJ were revealed, appearing for some users and interfering with the service:
UPD3: Added to the service a page with news and their Atom-stream . I will write about all further updates there.

UPD2: a couple of bugs in LJ were revealed, appearing for some users and interfering with the service:
- if there are RSS feeds in the friend feed, then LiveJournal does not give valid XML
- Friends lists in fdata and FOAF are not consistent.
